MY REVIEW!

Looking at the given summary doesn’t always
speak what resides inside the book. When i read the synopsis, i expected a lot,
a very lot out of it, but sadly i was disappointed. The story was simple, fast,
short, and non clarifying. It actually didn’t clarify what was happening. To me
it felt like it was a small part of a huge book about what wrong was happening in Patterson
falls. There were no details, nothing that would actually made one wonder that ah yes, this is possble, or yeah, this could’ve
happened. The story was revolving hopelessly without knowing the actual path.

I expected a clarification, and i expected
to actually believe that yes this is real, this might have happened somewhere. I
am a believer, but i couldn’t believe in anything. I just felt this is not how
the world works. The details were missing, and by details i don’t only mean
about where they came from, why they did what they did, and how it happened but
i mean that everything was sudden and clear. I really love when things are
coiled, and while mentioning a love story, i starve for beautiful moments. The
proposal, the cuddles, the beautiful time they would spend together, and the
very sweet little romantic moments. To be honest i missed it, the very feel
that they were in love didn’t touch my heart. I was not convinced that maybe
what they had was true love, and most of all “ it didn’t make me think”.

Unfortunately, it didn’t reach to my
expectations. The whole atmosphere was very light, and the book demanded
intensity which was not provided. The theme when looked at was very good, but
somehow it wasn’t at that level as i expected it would be. May be i expect too
much, may be yes, but hey, what is the joy in reading if you don’t have
expectations already. But i would say good try though.

I RATED IT:2/5 POINTS

AND SO 2 FLOWERS!
